What a really cool hotel. Hotel is in pristine condition. The antique elevator floor notifiers & very long hallways give the hotel of the time period of the Twilight Zone. Has very unique room decor & hallway furniture, found no where else. Very modern amenities in the room, making it very comfortable to stay in. Great find for the price...

This is such a tough one for me because the property is great and I love that it's in my hometown. The convenience to stay here when I don't want to leave the city is awesome and I love the building, style and convenience.
However, everything was bad and it started right away.
1st - It shouldn't take anywhere near...

Dear Anthony M,
Thank you for staying with us and sharing your love of the building with the readers of this site. We love this building as well, which is what makes reading reviews like this so difficult. To start with parking, I can assure you that it rarely takes that long to park. On that particular night, we experienced...

Seasoned travellers will often comment on the spectacular, interesting, et al, aspect of the arrival portal of a destination. Arriving from Toronto at the Exchange St station in downtown Buffalo can only be described by one word: depressing. The small station under a highway overpass was tatty and looked abandoned without a taxi in sight. We had to walk to...

Dear Steve S.
Thank you very much for staying with us and for providing us with some feedback! I am very happy to report that there is a council in Buffalo currently deciding on a new location that will serve as a more suitable and pleasing train station. We always do our best to accommodate early arrivals, however, it is...

Truly beautiful building, great event venue, but I wouldn't recommend spending the night. Upon arrival, I noticed a long, gray hair in the sink, dust on all of the surfaces (desk, bedside table, etc), and spots on the carpet. Not great, but the bedding seemed clean enough.
Then, I took a shower and wish I hadn't. The steam brought all...

We had our wedding here we weren't able to stay here, but we had a lot of interaction with the staff. We had our wedding at the court yard room which was gorgeous. But every time I had family there for things the front desk n hotel staff Weren't helping my family members on where to go within the hotel....

Very cool - Kitchy place! The pool scene was awesome and the whole vibe was really great. I loved the rooms - they were vintage but in good condition and done very tastefully. I thought they were decent size. I self parked and it wasn't that difficult. Would definitely stay there again!!

Room was very big and modern, it was large enough to have a bunch of friends in between the wedding and the reception and gave us all plenty of room to relax and kill some time. The room itself was very modern and unexpected, I would recommend !

I could ignore the broken coffee maker, the partial room cleaning but getting locked out of the hotel at 5:15am after taking someone to the airport was too much. I spoke with a desk person before leaving but they were busy setting up breakfast. I Rang and rang the doorbell, kicked the door. No help. Finally I was able to...

My husband and I stayed here our wedding night and we were not disappointed. We booked a junior suite which was lovely! It was a split-level design, with the bed and bathroom on a raised section a few steps up. A see-through fireplace graced the middle of the room, surrounded by soft grays, whites, and purples in the décor. The...

Stayed here for my daughters wedding, which was held here as well. I had stayed here years ago and the place was run down. They have done a marvelous job refurbishing the place, updating the venue while maintaining the original splendor of the building. A single room is a bit small, but cozy. The suites are very spacious with a...
